Thanks for posting. My husband and I got to see the Carpenters at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, California. They were a class A act. What a loss.
Wow what a coincidence, just yesterday I was viewing YouTube videos of the Carpenters and listening to Karen’s beautiful voice.
I too also got to see the Carpenters at Harrah’s Tahoe back in 1975. Their opening act was the Righteous Brothers. I was 12 at that time and looking back I am so grateful to have seen their act 6 years before her passing. I remember Karen asking everyone if there are any kids in the audience. God I wanted to jump up and run from the table (Dinner Show) and up to the stage. The reason was her next song was “Sing Sing a Song”.
You are right they are a Class Act and there will never be another class act like them. I wish Karen had gotten help but Anorexia was rarely diagnosis. Her death was not in vain because her death allowed this ugly illness to revealed to the public which was unheard of back then.
